This study aimed to examine the meaning of adult learners' experience in which they performed a convergence program for the self-confidence improvement of disabled persons with brain lesion who were daycare center users. For the goal, the study collected data through a 5-session profound interview with those disabled persons and then through this author's observation. This study analyzed all the data and, as a result, categorized three significant themes that best represented the above mentioned meaning, which are 'tension of beginning', 'joy of being in company with others' and 'I as the present being'. With those meaningful themes taken into serious consideration. Finally, this study suggested that field programs for social welfare practice in better connection with adult learners' major should be researched and developed.

본 연구에서는 뇌병변 복지관에서 장애인 이동형태에 따른 속도를 측정하기 위해서 두가지 실험을 실시하였다. 첫째는 평상시의 이동속도를 측정하였고, 두 번째로 화재나 재난상황을 가정으로, 실제 대피 실험을 하여 이동속도를 측정하였다. 측정결과를 정상인과의 비교를 통해 분석하고, 장애인 시설 피난 안전에 관한 기준 마련을 위한 기초데이터를 제공한다. 실험 결과 뇌병변 장애인들은 정상인들에 비해 평균이동속도가 현저히 느리고 거동이 불편한 이들이 있기 때문에 표준편차가 큰 값을 갖고 있다. 따라서 대피시의 피난성공을 위한 피난 기준 및 시설 확충이 필요한 것을 확인하였다.

A person with neurological disorder is defined as a person with limitation of ambulation or basic life activity due to the cerebral palsy or traumatic brain damage, stroke. Recently, the DMFT of the children with neurological disorders is similar or lower than the DMFT of the children with no disability. But, this article is about the severe-early childhood caries in children with grade 1 neurological disorder. It is supposed that the primary motor impairment and secondary physical weakness, frequent hospitalization, sugar- rich food and drugs, lack of oral care, delayed dental visit made high caries susceptibility. In case of treatment of the children with severe neurological disorders, dentists should make a thorough caries preventive plan based on individualized caries risk assessment. Also parents and medical doctors should recognize the importance of oral care and do the early dental visit and home care.

본 논문에서는 다양한 형태의 장애인을 대상으로 유연하게 적용 가능한 공공자격시험의 표준화 시스템을 설계하고 개발한다. 1차적으로 4 ~ 6급의 저시력 시각장애인, 뇌병변 장애인, 손부위 등에 대한 지체 장애인을 대상으로 제안시스템을 개발하여 적용한다. 물리적 조건으로 공공자격에 응시하는 장애가 있는 수험자는 수검사항에 위반되지 않는 상태에서 일반 응시자와 별도로 키보드를 지참하여 응시 가능하나 행망용 다기능 한글 모아치기 키보드로 제한되어지고 최소 17인치 이상의 모니터가 제공되어지며 수험 장소에 대하여 특정좌석을 지정할 수 있다. 시험적 조건으로는 장애를 가진 수험자에 대하여 장애상태를 구분하여 일반인 대비 20 ~ 30%의 추가시간이 할당되어지고 실기시험에 대하여는 150%의 확대문자가 기본적으로 제공되어진다. 상위 조건으로 필기시험과 실기시험이 실시되며 특별하게 시각장애인에 대한 실기시험에서는 일반인에 대한 시험 종료 후 제안시스템 제어 하에서 별도의 추가시험 절차가 부가적으로 자동진행 되어진다. 본 구현시스템은 장애인을 위한 8단계의 세부기능 설정 후 13가지의 평가 항목을 설정하여 실제 공공자격시스템에 시험 적용한 결과, 평균적으로 매우우수의 최상급 평가를 받았으며 장애인에 기반 한 공공자격분야 글로벌 표준화 시스템으로 제시하기 위한 후속 연구를 진행하고 있다.

Brain disorder disability is assessed when organic brain lesion such as cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, or stroke causes physical impairment which limits daily activites substantially according to its level and range of paralysis or the presence of involuntary movement. According to the disabled person welfare law in Korea, grade I brain disorder is assessed when one is in continuous irreversible state of coma without the ability to prolong one's life without other's help. Self-injurious behavior is defined as the non-suicidal intentional or unintentional injury to one's own body which can occur repetitively temporarily or chronically. People with decreased consciousness often exhibit increased self-injurious behavior which is most commonly associated with tongue or lip biting. This report documents a successful self -injurious lip biting treatment of a brain lesion patient within a short time by applying a removable acrylic resin appliance including posterior bite block.

The aim of this study is to reveal development processes of mothers with disabled children as active human agents utilizing social welfare institutions. Many social welfare studies have generally described welfare service users as passive subjects alienated from welfare information and subordinate to dominant welfare system. However, this investigation indicates that they do not merely remain as passive policy targets. They also perform as active actors who seek for useful information, strategically acquire profits in the given system despite institutional constraints, and create new welfare institutions. Through in-depth interviews with 11 mothers of disabled children with brain lesions, this study has derived a grounded theory on the mothers' maturation processes in interaction with social welfare institutions, which consist 6 stages(entering, awakening, exploring, struggling, resigning and utilizing period). This substantive analysis on the survival processes of mothers with disabled children in the social welfare system provides empirical knowledge and evidence about relationship between the structure and agents. It also suggests a practical policy proposal for disabled people and their families based on these stages.

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data on practical intervention strategies that many people with disabilities can empower in the future by analyzing the experiences in which people with disabilities were empowered through Encounter group counseling program focusing on people with physical disabilities and brain lesions, who account for 50% of all people with disabilities. The research questions were: First, did people with disabilities get empowerment experiences through an Encounter group counseling program? Second, what kind of empowerment experiences did people with disabilities begin to have through the program? In this study, a focus group interview was conducted with the participants of the program to qualitatively evaluate the empowerment experiences from the Encounter group program. The participants were people with physical disabilities and brain lesions experiencing Encounter group counseling programs at the self-reliance center in Seoul from 2015 to 2019. As a result of the analysis, 7 components, and 17 sub-components were derived, which were grouped into three themes: 1) restoring self relationship 2) forming new relationship with others, and 3) realizing a sense of solidarity with society. The research results were discussed considering the impact of the Encounter program on personal, interpersonal, and social empowerment of people with disabilities and finally, limitations of the study and suggestions for follow-up studies were presented.

Reposition and splinting has been widely recommended when clinicians treat traumatically dislocated tooth. This case represents stabilization of traumatized tooth in a cerebral palsy patient who failed resin wire splint because of parafunctional oral habit and lack of cooperation. Clinically, mobility of traumatized tooth decreased due to stabilization using vacuum-formed splint with posterior occlusal block in 2 weeks. Vacuum-formed splint may be a simple and effective stabilization technique for traumatized tooth in a cerebral palsy patient.

Cerebral palsy is one of the most common disabilities of childhood, which affects movement and co-ordination. Individuals with cerebral palsy are susceptible to traumatic dental injuries. High occurrence of Class II malocclusion with prominent maxillary incisors appears to increase risk of trauma. However, due to fear of behavior management and lack of cooperation, clinicians have avoided orthodontic treatment in cerebral palsy patients. This case report demonstrates that modified rapid maxillary expansion can be used as a simple and effective method to correct ectopic eruption of maxillary incisor in cerebral palsy patient.

The purpose of this study is to understand social exclusion experiences with the disabled through a biographical study. It is analysed the interview date conducting an interview about 10 focused on the physical and cerebral palsy disabled with social exclusion experiences. The results show that it is multi-social exclusion including the inequality of approach opportunity of education, labor, education, medical, social participation, information, social service, space, health etc. It shows their life neglected and marginalized resulted from not providing social right as citizenship. And their social relationship is isolated by social exclusion and Other-directed identity is to be shaped in accordance to the method to define as regulated social ideals. Also, there is their painful and heavy life bound with double risky factors of disability and poverty. They share common historical experiences and social events impacted on their recognition and value among participants generation in biographical narrative. On the other hand, their life is reconstructed according to each their resource and standard to interpreter and evaluate on it. It suggests political and clinical implications in order to overcome the disabled's social exclusion, which is based on practical and vivid experiential dates from the participants.
